The EHCP Handbook

In England, more than half a million children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities are provided with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). This accessible, illustrated handbook acts as a guide through all the stages of making an ECHP, equipping the reader with the information needed to ensure it provides clear guidance and support for the child or young person' s education journey. The author provides some useful legal background into the history of EHCPs and the local authority' s role in the process, outlining strategies to help families to maintain the plan' s relevance and advocate for their rights with the aim to promote more effective collaboration between parents and support teams.
